Our Gateway Center (emergency shelter) is the most basic of our programs and is often the entry-point into our long-term programs. Our Emergency Shelter receives clients - sometimes literally off the street, who have exhausted all support and typically have multiple and long-term problems.

The Mission provides 66 beds for homeless men. The shelter is open 3:30 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.

The average shelter stay is 14-days. Shelter use is not an answer to homelessness, but a first step to self-sufficiency.

The men are encouraged to join a long-term recovery program to resolve the root causes of their homelessness, so they can end it permanently. They can join one of our long-term programs or be referred to another agency if needed.
